Let's do an experiment. Instead of taking all the real numbers just take 0 . 9 , 0 . 9 9 , 0 . 9 9 9 and so on, which are less than one. S = 0 . 9 + 0 . 9 9 + 0 . 9 9 9 + ⋯ = ( 1 − 0 . 1 ) + ( 1 − 0 . 0 1 ) + ( 1 − 0 . 0 0 1 ) + ⋯ Clearly, we can see that the above sum is tending to ∞ . So, the sum of all real numbers from 0 to 1 is ∞ .
